A Very Confused Courier
I've just had a phone call from a very confused courier. My mother (who many years ago for reasons both too long and silly to go in to I nicknamed "Crusty Pasty") texted me last night to say that I was to be delivered an early Christmas present that would arrive today, and that she'd โฆ

A Video Game Movie I'd See
Video game movies are notoriously bad, no matter how awesome the game that inspired them. Wing Commander took a classic video game series and completely ruined it. Doom was incredibly dull, even though it was based on one of the most popular game series that have ever exited. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time โฆ

Parsing XML as JSON
This morning, I got an instant message from a programmer who's getting deeply into their Ajax recently. The conversation went something like this (I paraphrase and dramatise at least a little):
Morning! I need to manipulate a JSON feed so that [this JSON parser] will recognise it.
Here's what I get out of the JSON feed โฆ -
Civilization V Release Day

Amateur Lesbians
I've recently reformatted and reinstalled, and that means that - briefly - I ended up seeing advertisements on the Internet again, until I had my ad-blocker reinstalled. And so I came to see an advertisement that promised to let me see "amateur lesbians".
Now you and I both know perfectly well what they mean, but I've โฆ -
The Game Disbalancer
Coming to an Arkham Horror game near you... never.
Click for large-o-vision. You know, I think that having this guy on the team might just make the game winnable. Maybe. -

Smell Of Gas
The other evening, I was woken (yes, I was asleep at 6pm, might blog about why that was on a later date) by a man from one of the energy companies trying to get me to consider changing my gas supply to them. I'm not keen on door-to-door sales at the best of times, which, โฆ

Too Busy To Blog
So I shan't tell you about all the fun and exciting (read: horrible and exhausting) things I've been up to lately. Instead, to keep you amused, here's an animated GIF that amused me.

Waiting For The Bus
If there still exists anybody on Earth to whom I haven't shown the Cyanide & Happiness short film, Waiting For The Bus, you should go and watch it now, because it's the funniest thing that has ever existed.
